Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) was released in April 2007. It focuses on improved hardware support across the board and lays the foundations for aggressive adoption of emerging desktop technologies. Ubuntu 7.04 returned to the standard six-month schedule following the shortened catch-up cycle used for Ubuntu 6.10.

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (The Dapper Drake Release) is the first long-term-supported release of Ubuntu. Dapper features a GUI installer optimised for simplicity and speed and official support for a new server architecture: SPARC.
